About Eric Prydz

Is there anyone in higher demand than Eric Prydz right now? He is notoriously one of the world's best underground spinners and producers. His labels – Mouseville, Pryda and Pryda Friends – are bursting at the seams with hits. And Eric Sheridan Prydz (aka Pryda, aka Cirez D) has pulled it all together with nary a hair out of place (undoubtedly because he's always rocking that skull cap).

Prydz, who is perhaps best known for his now decade-old single "Call On Me," ascended to stardom as the song beat back the competition. It shot to number one on the UK singles chart and stayed there for five weeks. It did one better in Germany, where it graced the top 100 for six consecutive weeks. But Prydz wouldn't going to settle for success as a 'one hit wonder.' In fact, his appeal among underground and mainstream fans grew as he remixed a version of Pink Floy's "Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2" (in 2006) and called it "Proper Education."

In 2012 Prydz rolled out a 3-disc album through Virgin Records. Disc 1 was previously unreleased Pryda productions material. Disc 2 and 3 were a compilation of 'classic' tracks from the Pryda catalog. That project was followed by the official release of the 'Eric Prydz Presents Pryda' album on April 14, 2012, with that CD also containing a download of 'Tijuana,' a track that was previously known to fans as 'Space Miami ID.'

Prydz's 2013 essential mix was named Essential Mix of the Year by Pete Tong, and his so-called "Pryda Snare" remains one of the most popular techniques in house and trance music today.
